石油设备网讯 据油气新闻网站5月19日华盛顿报道 根据全球市场研究和管理咨询公司Global Market Insights的最新研究报告，到2024年，热能储存市场规模将超过550亿美元。
政府对可再生能源发电的有利举措以及不断增长的不间断电源需求将扩大热能储存市场。此外，随着客户对能源效率的关注不断增加，加上能源储存计划的实施，将进一步完善行业格局。
2017年熔盐储能市场价值超过90亿美元。随着CSP工厂的不断部署，工业和商业机构对大规模存储容量的需求激增，将增加产品的渗透性。此外，有限的热损失加上提供过热蒸汽的能力是刺激产品在各种应用中采用的一些基本特征。
近年来，储能材料和制造业的进步将提高储能的经济性，从而对热能储能市场产生积极影响。报告还称，由于基础设施投资的盈利能力提高，越来越多的技术需要适应供求不匹配，这将增加产品采用率。
2017年，美国的热能储存市场价值超过60亿美元。增加研究、设计和开发项目的资金，加上高昂的燃料成本，将刺激行业规模。2017年，该地区安装了近41.8兆瓦的储能装置，同比增长46%。此外，14个州的公用事业公司已经在综合资源规划（IRP）中部署了大约2吉瓦的能源存储。
随着能源需求的不断增长、可再生能源的整合和技术进步，对电网现代化的日益关注将推动热能储存市场的规模。不断增长的供热、通风和空调（HVAC）系统需求，以及对基础设施开发的持续投资，也将加速业务增长。
随着太阳能热系统需求的不断增长，区域供热和制冷系统的适用性不断提高，将扩大显热热能储存市场的规模。这种存储技术将由熔盐系统驱动，熔盐系统安装在集成太阳能（CSP）中。相对简单的设计和快速降低电力平准化成本将加速业务增长。

Thermal energy storage market size to top $55bn by 2024
Thermal energy storage market size will surpass $55 billion by 2024, as reported in the latest study by Global Market Insights, a global market research and management consulting company
Favourable government initiatives toward renewable energy based power generation along with increasing demand for uninterrupted power supply will augment the thermal energy storage market. In addition, increasing customer focus toward energy efficiency coupled with the implementation of energy storage plans will further complement the industry landscape.
Molten salt thermal energy storage market, in 2017 was valued over $9 billion. Surging demand for large scale storage capacity across the industrial and commercial establishments along with rising deployment of CSP plants will increase the product penetration. Further, limited heat loss coupled with the ability to provide superheated steam are some of the underlying features stimulating the product adoption across various applications.
Recent advancements in storage materials and manufacturing will improve the economics of storage and thus will positively influence the thermal energy storage market. Further, increasing need for technologies to accommodate supply and demand mismatch on account of improving the profitability of infrastructure investments will increase the product adoption, the report said.
The U.S. thermal energy storage market, in 2017 was valued over $6 billion. Increasing funding toward research, design and development programs coupled with high fuels costs will stimulate the industry size. In 2017, nearly 41.8 megawatts of energy storage were installed across the region accounting for 46 per cent of year-over-year growth. Further, utilities across 14 states have deployed around 2 gigawatts of energy storage into Integrated Resource Planning (IRP).
Increasing focus toward grid modernization on account of growing energy demand, renewable integration and technological advancements will drive the thermal energy storage market size. Rising demand for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems complemented by ongoing investments toward the infrastructure development will accelerate the business growth.
Increasing applicability across district heating and cooling systems along with rising demand for solar thermal systems will augment the sensible heat thermal energy storage market size. This storage technology will be driven by molten salt-based systems being installed in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). Relatively simpler designs and rapidly decreasing levelized cost of electricity will accelerate the business growth.
